> there are suspect cases in Europe already at the beginning of December, of people that had never been in Wuhan.

If this is true, then it's not a given that COVID-19 even originated in China.

It's not a given, but it's also not a given that it originated in Europe or anywhere else for that matter. Plane travel makes it possible for a virus to be anywhere in the world on the same day.
